What impressed me most was the communication. Quick WhatsApp responses before and during our trip. When you're traveling internationally, knowing someone will respond quickly gives you peace of mind.

We had an incredible safari with Nesh Tours & Safaris. Joan helped us plan Nairobi National Park, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara and was very quick to respond whenever we had questions. Everything was clearly explained, including the pricing. Brian was a safe and professional driver and the vehicle was comfortable throughout the safari. Excellent experience from beginning end.

We did Nairobi National Park first and then traveled to Maasai Mara. It was a great combination. Joan handled all the arrangements and Brian took excellent care of us on the road.

Amboseli was breathtaking. Seeing elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background was something I'll never forget. Thank you Nesh Tours!

We had one free day in Nairobi and Joseph helped organize a Nairobi National Park game drive for us. I couldn't believe we were seeing giraffes and rhinos so close to the city. Everything was arranged quickly and professionally.

Lake Nakuru was probably the surprise of our trip. We originally focused on Maasai Mara, but Joan recommended adding Nakuru and we're glad we listened. Beautiful scenery and great wildlife viewing.
